Sold my car!
#11
Buying a nice foxbody for $5-6g and just pay cash for it. No car payment and i just save the money. Keep the fox for a year or two then buy a used '10. I average only keeping a car for 2-3yrs anyway. There was a time frame of about 5yrs where i bought a new car every year, some werent brand new but new to me. Anyway, i am throwing around differant things but i'm not in a big hurry. Looking to decided around the end of the year.

Glad to hear that. I hate it when someone comes on here (or any board) and says they sold their car and is getting something that's not a mustang. It's even more annoying when the new car is not even a muscle car (including the corvette which some don't see as muscle any more these days) at all.
I had intentions to sell mine last year so I could get a manual. I wanted exactly what I had now, but manual instead of auto. But, I would have lost BIG and didn't do it. I'm glad now I did not since my newer tunes shift so much better that it doesn't annoy me like it once did. Plus I have the TCI shifter so it's all good.
I now have no intentions on selling...ever. I want to get another car (manual this time!) once this is paid for but this one will be staying with me as long as possible.
I think a 2010 GT500 would be great, but those things are just too damned expensive. Ah well...

Thanks Cameron and everyone else for that matter. As you know Cam i originally had all intentions of buying a GT500 and thats really the only reason i was trying to sell it. Then i got to reading and talking to a few guys who had the 07-09 an traded it or sold it and bought a 2010 GT500. All of them said they'd never go back, the differance was night and day. Now when i went to mustang week i saw 3 or 4 of the '10s and loved them. Still hate the rear end but the rest of the car really got me. One problem though, the price. I cant spend more than $38k right now. So i am in a bind and am having trouble deciding what to do. So here is one option i'm heavily considering...

Cameron you are exactly right. There is no way i'd not be able to mess with the foxbody but i'd try to buy one that had most of the work already done, yeah kinda lame, but only to hold me over. No car payment, cheaper insurance, i can still save a nice amount. I found a sweet deal on an 07 with 900miles for less than $35k but i just dont know what to do. I dont like making rushed decisions and i know that car wont last long at all.

I like your plan!
Stick with it! Buying a used car as basic transpo, saving all your money and then buying a 2010 GT500 once the prices come down below $40,000 sounds great!
So much more responsible than those goofs who went out and bought new GTs with only $4,000 down and couldn't afford the payments!
Driving off the lot and immediately losing $4,000 isn't fun, no matter how fast the car.
